How old do you have to be to date a 18 year old?

In the US there are no laws regarding dating, it's up to the parents. There are laws regarding sex however where the minor must have reached the age of consent in his/hers state.
Depends on where you live. Some states have the age of consent at 16 and others are 18. If you are below the age of 16 I would use that as the guideline not to date. The 18 year old is an adult in all states and dating or having a sexual relationship with a minor is illegal...

Age of consent refers to the legal age at which a minor can consent to sexual intercourse not the age at which a minor can consent to a non-sexual dating relationship...

Please list a State Statutue that determines the LEGAL AGE at which a minor can consent to a non-sexual dating relationship with an 18 year old.

As your older brother, I've been where you are—maybe not exactly, but close enough.
